Dot, dot, goosed

As the introductory note sez, Board Dots is a deceptively simple-looking game that can drive you crazy in its deviousness. You’re faced with a grid of squares, several of which are filled with black dots. Pick a square to start and then click the mouse to move within the grid. You move until you come up against something — the edge of the grid, one of those black dots, the pathway you previously traveled. The object is to completely fill in all the open squares, without “painting yourself into a corner” from which you cannot escape while open squares remain.

This all sounds more complex than it is. Go play and, within minutes you’ll understand the rules, the strategy, the object of the game. Hours later, you’ll be cursing FOTW for, well, wasting hours of your life.
